Texworld & Apparel Sourcing open today
The textile and sourcing show owned and operated by Messe Frankfurt is back at the Le Bourget exhibition centre and runs from September 15 to 17. It is the first time, the organisers point out, that both sections, the textile and the garment manufacturing shows are of equal size. A milestone due to an increase in exhibitors for the apparel sourcing show. A total of 1,300 companies will be exhibiting.

Next to the usual country pavilions, for Turkey, China, India, Korea, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Taiwan, are newcomers Armenia and Kirgizstan. Near shoring is a focus for the apparel sourcing event. A Near Souring Hub, managed by digital sourcing platform Foursource, is hosting ten European garment manufacturers at this edition. 

Avantex is another key section, held yearly during the September show, where 30 companies will be showcasing innovative textiles as well as apparel design and manufacturing solutions. The 8th edition of the Avantex Fashion Pitches will be held today at 3.30 pm. 

A dense programme of conferences is also scheduled during the three-day event. Highlights include a session dedicated to the impact of regenerative AI on creativity. Second day conferences will cover the evolution of legislation, textile-to-textile recycling, with Andreas Dorner of Re&Up, Silvio Botto of Botto Giuseppe, Stéphane Popescu of COSE361 and Lucie Ladigue of the Cradle to Cradle product innovation institute (C2CPII). The third day will be dedicated to social and material innovation, an event called Bio Fashion Innovation Day and organised by the Textile & Clothing Business Labs, a European network seeking to support a fairer and more resilient fashion textile and apparel industry.
